MLK Day Hike @ Wilder Ranch (Santa Cruz; 8 miles)

Join us for a hike at Wilder Ranch near Santa Cruz.

This hike is easy-moderate at about 8 miles and should take about 3-4 hours depending on people's pace (will be casual). The route goes along the foothills overlooking the coastal bluffs and straddles patches of redwoods.
A decent portion of the trail is exposed so have sun protection. Also recommend long pants to reduce risk of ticks/poison oak.

Because it is MLK day, parking may be free, but bring some cash just in case.

Here is the route I will be taking (clockwise)
